O Twitter It continues at full steam with the plan to become an “all-in-one” application, ceasing to be a social network focused only on text. After increasing the video length limit for Twitter Blue subscribers to two hours, the platform has now released a sneak peek of the features that users can expect for this type of media in the future.

In a tweet on her personal account, Twitter’s senior product designer, Andrea Conwayshared an image of a new menu for videos on the social network that will allow you to control various aspects of video playback, which is very reminiscent of YouTube.

excited to start doing more with media on twitter

As you can see in the post above, this new interface allows you to turn on the subtitles of a video, change its playback speed, share it, report it and even download it — which will surely make all those accounts automated tasks that download a video for you are useless. The executive even promised more news involving the way Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and the possibility to choose the video resolution.

At the moment, the social network allows videos with a maximum resolution of Full HD (1080p) for both free users and subscribers. The development of an option to adjust this setting may well indicate that Twitter is considering implementing other resolutions for videos — but perhaps not yet reaching the 8K already supported by YouTube…

Neither Conway nor Twitter have given any predictions on when the new options will roll out to users/subscribers.
